The primary objective of the proposed project is to provide the National Energy Technology Laboratory's Hybrid Performance (HYPER) Facility the needed numerical methods algorithm(s), software development and implementation support to enact real time cyber-physical systems that simulate process dynamics on the order of five milliseconds or smaller. The proposed paths forward comprise three distinct approaches to faster transient simulations. They fall under the numerical methods categories of: 1) optimizing key parameters within the facility's present real time processing scheme; 2) introducing an "informed" processing approach wherein a priori computations expedite real time attempts; and 3) implementing alternatives to the presently employed explicit-implicit blended finite difference (spatio-temporal) approach. Each of these three classes will be attempted independently as options for improvement, yet in some cases one may complement another.

Project Benefits

The three approaches provide individual paths that will expedite critical computational steps. They are also anticipated to have points of compatibility to synergistically speed processing. Achieving the five-millisecond time step threshold for the pioneering HYPER cyber-physical system would afford dynamic operability studies that capture higher time resolution phenomena (e.g., electrochemicalfluidic dynamics) at the full response capability of the Hyper system.
